And Pennsylvania gets a new EV corridor!

I recently mentioned that New Jersey is getting new Tesla
Superchargers for electric vehicles (link here), providing a key north-south
network link.Pennsylvania also
has a new EV corridor – from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh – installed this summer
(story here).

Pennsylvania’s new corridor was implemented through a
public-private partnership, with state funding support for fast chargers operating
at Sheetz convenience stores.The
locations (Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, State College, Altoona, Blairsville) provide
fast charging along a corridor parallel to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which
hopefully will have its own fast chargers soon.The Sheetz chargers use the Chademo design, meaning they
work with the Nissan Leaf and other Japanese-design electric vehicles.
